Sing For You
Two years ago, EXO released 'Miracles in December,' kicking off a tradition
of holiday releases. Last year, it was the single 'The Winter's Tale.' Now, they have another
gift for you'Sing For You,' featuring the twin title
tracks "Sing For You" and "Unfair."
"Unfair"
A jaunty piano starts off this cheerful mid-tempo pop number. The boys bring their trademark croons to the title track, energizing the song with their delivery, Chanyeol's deep voice contrasting nicely with Baekhyun's falsetto. It's danceable and ultraslick, begging you to get on your feet and move. The song itself is about how the girl is being "unfair" to them by looking so hot.

"Sing For You"
The second of their dual title tracks, this is a guitar-driven ballad. Here, they pour their hearts out, some of them tenderly half-whispering their parts. When they get to the chorus, though,Baekhyun, Chen, and D.O. really wrench the vocals from their souls and put on an impassioned performance. The song itself is an endearing winter confession.
"Girl x Friend"
Extending the piano influence to another song, the boys crank out another medium-tempo tune. This time, it has different twists from the first to shake things up. Kai's backing vocals where he interjects something between another boy's lines are amusing and make this song pop. The rest handle their duties well, but I think Kai's parts give it more of a rhythm and make it catchier. It's about trying to get out of the friendzone and be a girl's boyfriend.

On the Snow"
Snaps, harmonies, and backing vocals characterize this ballad. During the chorus, however, it picks up some and becomes a soft pop tune instead, and the boys' delivery gets louder and more heartfelt. Equal parts sugary and silky, this lush ballad deserves more than a single listen. The lyrics talk about love and loss in winter and how they want her back.

"LIGHTSABER"
Probably the most enjoyable song on this album for this beat junkie, this EDM track features staccato vocals, dance breaks, and synth wub-wubs ftw! The track, produced specifically with Star Wars in mind, even has Darth Vader's ominous breathing at the beginning. The lyrics are clever, alluding to how the boys are a girl's life saver (rhymes with "lightsaber").

This
slow-burner is entirely appropriate for the season. The use of real instruments
over synths give you a sensation more warm than sizzling, a reminder that
winter is here, the leaves have dropped from the trees, and that logs are
smoldering in the fireplace. The boys never fail to put in a moving performance
in December, 'Sing For You' included. The album leaves you with a
mellow, pleasant glow, something perfect to curl up with a cup of mocha and
keep the winter at bay.
